| Quote (stevestory @ Dec. 04 2007,21:59) | | what's 'a drink'? Because airplane bottles are 50 ml, I assumed 50 ml was a single drink. So this 375ml bottle of gin I've got is about 7 drinks. No big deal. But a friend who's an almanac maniac says a drink is an ounce, or roughly 30 ml of booze. That would make this small bottle about 12 drinks. A big difference. Which is correct? |
Depends on which side of the Atlantic you're currently standing.
A commenter on one of Dr. BA's recent threads pointed out the difference in a pint between there and here, a difference which puzzled me when I was in London, but until now hadn't gotten my head around. I thought those suckers looked a little supersized!
It seems we're about 4 oz short, and truthfully, it makes a big difference at the pub.
